Keeneland CEO and president Shannon Arvin and owner, breeder, and businessman Tracy Farmer are scheduled to be recognized for their leadership in Kentucky's equine industry at Midway University's eighth annual Spotlight Awards Thursday evening. The institution, which is celebrating its 175th anniversary, was recently featured in TDN.
The night is designed to highlight those who have been leaders in their fields. Arvin will be honored with the Pinkerton Vision Award, which is given to someone who has had a direct impact on improving the lives of women, a woman who has been a role model, or a woman who has shown outstanding leadership or influence in her chosen field. Farmer, a past Midway trustee, will receive the Legacy Award, which is given to someone who has directly impacted Midway University through time, service, support, and resources.
“This is truly an honor, and I am proud and humbled,” said Farmer. “Through my years in business and public service, I have been fortunate to have achieved great success. I consider this honor from Midway University among the top of my achievements!”
